I know there has been tons of posts on this subject, but this is insane. Does anyone else feel this way? I mean seriously this game has to be the worst with hackers!!! We might find (1) good lobby out of (5). It's ridiculous. We are now (3) months into this game and everyday the hackers and cheaters grow. The worst part is...these hackers and cheaters just throw it out there, they make it known they are hackers. They have clan tags with MOD, their name has hacker in it, they change their PSN ID in the lobby and tell you go ahead report me. They don't care because the powers that be obviously don't care. Reporting them does not work. I called in to report someone on my friends list who had hacked his account and you know what?!?!?!?! He's still playing everyday!!! I expect this sort of experience if I go back and put in a previous COD title, but not on a new game!!! I mean come on start with the darn leader boards...many of them are right there ban their accounts!!! I am completely disgusted with the lack of care and attention that they putting into handling these hackers/cheaters.

These "hacks", which are really mods, are done because PSN has yet to ban jailbroken systems from accessing its network.

If IW bans every "hacker", which are really modders, all they have to do is create a new name and remod it, which takes 5 minutes.

While IW is toiling away, trying to figure out what they can do, the truth is, as long as jailbroken systems are able to access the PSN and/or Sony does console bans for people using mods, there isn't much IW can do that I can think of. Hopefully, they do have an idea what to do and are working on it.

Mods = hacker = cheater! It is just a game why cheat? Because they have no skill, they love to hear us complain about them, ect... IW doesn't care because they made/make money and there are many to catch. It sucks and beside the "lag comp" those are my biggest complaints about this game. All you can do is try different ways to report them and hope they act on it.

You're absolutely right, hackers and modders are still cheaters. The reason people cheat is because they can. Same reason why someone might steal a pack of bubble gum. Or the reason someone decides to streak on a baseball field. People do bad things because they can. It looks like you're a military guy so you know what is right and what is wrong. Kid's these days get away with so much wrongs and there is so much lack of punishment that this is what we are now having in our lives.

Ban the IP is easy to get around. But clean the leaderboard would be one step to show that they are doing something. I have seen may players less than an 5 hrs played and maxed prest. I have been kicked from lobbies with nasty words pop up on the screen. After the game loads the message shows up and then your sitting back out in a lobby with your party. Even seen red boxes around people in the replay after you die when someone is ADS at you. I just wish there was a way to show us or even let us know that they are actively working on the problem. I don't think it would hard to clean the leaderboards each week from the people that have 1,000,000+ points a game average.

I can promise you that IW has been taking action by banning some of the cheating accounts. It's how I know that once it gets banned, the cheater just makes a new account and mods it up to get what they want again with no ill effects.

IW should have been toiling away before the game was released and had a plan of action. I'm sorry , but to be (3) months into this game and you're still toiling away trying to figure out what to do is a bit ridiculous. It's not like IW has a bunch of 5 year olds working for them or do they? There is no reason it should be this out of control and it is absolutely out of control.

Who's to say that they haven't been toiling away at it already? Perhaps there is just absolutely no way for IW to do anything. I don't know because they haven't said anything. I just like being an optimist and hoping for the best.

I was optimistic the 1st month and you know even had a small bit of hope left in month 2, but coming up to the end of month 3 and the problem is growing. My hope is gone and my disappointment and frustration is growing. What makes it worse is these so called gamers *which by no means are true gamers* just blatantly throw it in your face. Why...because no one is doing anything about it!!!

looking into how these player mod, i do not feel there is a stop anytime soon, they can have programs to unban them, basically creating a new serial number for their ps3, and once one sticks, they are allowed online again.. CFW ( jailbreaking is how they are able to do this, also in addition using RTM/RTE to be able to put themselves in god mods, or uav hacks etc.

CFW is not illegal, but it is illegal to go online with it,s o what they do is spoof the ps3 making psn think it is on current firmware and then they then can get online

When you sign into psn/COD server doesn't your ip show up to Sony/IW, and that IP address does it ref the router or ps3? Now I don't know who the hackers are but most would be lazy IMO as I think most are copy n pasters so block the ip some would get around most won't have clue for a while.

It's simple enough to get a new IP address by just unplugging your modem for a short amount of time and then the poor, innocent user who happens to end up with that IP address afterwards who is unlucky enough to play COD Ghosts will be blocked.

I can't imagine Sony banning consoles over a singular game. People use their PS3s for a lot more than gaming and Sony has $$$$ legal contracts with the providers of other video/etc entertainment available to PS3 users.

Also look at it this way, to Sony the idea of hacking is tantamount to carrying more than "15 items" through the Express isle at the grocery store. Sure, there's signs all over the place forbidding it, but you never really see them enforcing the rule because they don't want to risk losing a $$$$ customer over something that is relatively minor in their business scope.

I am not really going to buy into that since Sony has done a large console ban before that essentially bricked PS3s but if you are correct as to the reasoning why it isn't happening, I will use that information for when I purchase a next-gen console in the next month.

here let me just clarrify something im not a troll or a fan boy but you playstation players do relise that the xbox one and xbox 360 are not hack ridden all of the call of duty games have been fine on xbox but for every CoD playstation has always been full of hacks theres nothing new

lol There a ton of threads on the 360 forum with people complaining about being put into modded lobbies and having their stats screwed, along with all the other hacks including invisibility, god mode, all perks etc. Seriously just do a search.

and no there is no hacks on xbox one maybe 1 or 2 on the xbox 360 the ps3 is hack ridden and the ps4 is hack ridden and if you get banned on the xbox you must be trying iv had my account since xbox 360 release

is that why iv played the xbox since release of the xbox 360 and have played all cods and have only ran into 3 hacked lobbys 1 on cod 4 and 2 on mw2 and im still playing i havent complained of hacks yet but all i see on the forum is hack here hack there from the playstation 3/4 i dont see anything on the xbox one

I agree at the minute hacked lobbies is every other post, last week it was 'the maps r too big' before that ' ghost is the worst COD ever' however I've only experience d maybe 5 hacked lobbies on ghosts, I can't be bothered to look at Xbox forum or ps4 but I can assure you blops 2 on Xbox was hacked more severely than ps3 and I repeat 90% of hacks on ps3 originated from Xbox. Maybe youve been lucky at avoiding hacking on Xbox, on ps3 until blops2 IMO it was,rare to come across a hacked lobby in the first year to 18mths from release, blops2 was quicker but it was released on Xbox before ps3 and that's why the hacks originated from Xbox.

The funny thing is, there was hackers the first day the game was launched. if you checked the leaderbords on launch day 1 their were already people max rank with 10 million kills and less then 100 deaths and many more ridiculous stuff. but whats sad is the game hasn't even been out for 3 months yet and the game is riddled with hackers and modders i have played 6 infected games in the past 2 days and i have came across 4 11th prestige players. this is just stupid, they've been here since launch day, and they are still here now, this game is already like MW2 riddled with hacks.

With the level of competion for FPS games you would think being on top of this would be a top priority to show that the COD franchise is still number 1, however correct me if i'm wrong but are they still not working on the spawns. I play FFA but I dread dying as one death can easily lead to 3-4 within seconds.

Also a large number of the team will now be working on the next game development.

I think the online pass for PS4 will show improvements for the future and by restricting USB access will make it harder for the modders, too easy on PS3 to create a new account, however still a lot of life yet on PS3 I think a lot of people will resist paying for online as long as possible and play on PS3 whilst big titles available
